मानमेवाभिरक्षतु
July 5, 2006 — Karthikप्राणञ्चापि परित्यज्य मानमेवाभिरक्षतु।
अनित्यो भवति प्राणो मानमाचन्द्रतारकम्॥
prāṇañcāpi parityajya mānamevābhirakṣatu |
anityo bhavati prāṇo mānamācandratārakam ||
Even at the cost of one’s life one should preserve his honour, as
life is temporary and honour is ever lasting as the moon and stars.
